Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has decided to executive produce and feature in a three-part documentary on Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor. The Hollywood Reporter reported that Passion Pictures, a production company, has been contracted by BBC Arts to produce a documentary titled Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar. The documentary claims to shed light on “a superstar who transformed not just Hollywood but fame itself, as she went from child star to highest-paid actress in the world.”
The series, executive-produced by Kari Lia, Hamish Fergusson, and Kim Kardashian, offers “privileged access to those who knew her best, including members of Elizabeth Taylor’s family, friends, and colleagues from throughout her stellar career.”
One of the top stars in 1950s Hollywood was Elizabeth Taylor, whose eight marriages, expensive taste in jewellery, love life and activism frequently provided content for media gossip.
It will also feature “how she reinvented the nature of fame, even as she smashed the glass ceiling in Hollywood, before going on to become a billion-dollar businesswoman, activist and advocate,” the official description read.
The documentary will also contain interviews with Dr. Anthony Fauci, who worked closely with the star in her battle against AIDS, Kardashian, who did Taylor’s final interview before her death in 2011 at the age of 79, and the late Joan Collins, a friend and contemporary.
